The Promise Campaign focuses on several initiatives including improving facilities for critical, surgical and emergency care services at the hospital’s main campus in the Texas Medical Center, as well as the construction of Texas Children’s Hospital The Woodlands, a 548,000-square-foot dedicated pediatric hospital, which will care for children in communities north of Houston.

“Serving as honorary chairs of the Promise Campaign is a wonderful way for us to help ensure that every child in our community has the highest quality care and the best possible chance to live a long, fulfilling life,” said Robert McNair.
The goal of the fundraising endeavor is to help ensure Texas Children’s has the infrastructure in place to meet the needs of the patients it serves five, 10 and even 20 years from now.

“Any visionary can take on a bold endeavor,” said Michael C. Linn, Promise Campaign chair. “Successfully completing one of this magnitude requires a team with extraordinary leaders like Bob and Janice McNair, who embrace the vision, give their all to fulfill it and inspire others to do the same.”

Texas Children’s is committed to providing the very best care to all children who come to the hospital for help. It is essential to give the right care, at the right time, in the right place—and to do so, it is essential that Texas Children’s continue to grow.
